This may have only been for informative reasons, but the above screenshots will have hopefully made you eager to try out APB.[/release]

Also check out the APB Database for info on all existing, planned, and tested weapons and mods.

For Facepunch Community:

The largest concentration of Facepunchers is on Facepunch Enforcers Joker (FPEJ). Contact me (MrSomeguy), HHBlackhawk (ZoeyZ443), Capgun, Steven :D (MaximumEnforcing), or Sie-Sveinhund (Svein) for membership. You must be online in order to accept the invitation. We also run a criminal clan (FPCJ), but it is very small and only has 2 active members (Me and Blackhawk). Facepunch Enforcers Obeya is largely dead, and Facepunchers there and elsewhere are mostly scattered about different clans.

Update: Obeya Clan is reborn; Facepunch Enforcement Inc, the leading service of collateral damage and vigilantism, is now open! Contact Mastahamma (Ingrid) or NitronikALT (Nitronik4ever) for invite, NitronikALT (Nitronik4ever) for Male Uniforms

12) To add on to number 1 & 5, all Armas Preset weapons have been given a negative attribute guns in the normal game do not have.

Examples:

- Scoped N-Tec has a bigger bloom spread than a normal N-Tec with HS3. It's more accurate at long ranges going full auto, but while moving you won't be able to hit anything. This makes the Scoped N-Tec more situational and a normal N-Tec more versatile.

- OCA Whisper has increased range, but at the same has less of a CQC advantage than free-mod OCAs.

- CSG has less hard damage than a JG. The CSG also has more pellets than a JG, but the pellets do less damage. This means if you're not dead on the center hit you're not gonna do much damage.

Regarding earlier comment about clothes. I literally have every single clothing item unlocked for chicks, except the preset outfits from the crim boss contacts. So if anyone wants a custom item, mail me ingame (Lyarii) and I'll make you something, if I can. Providing it's not one of the strangely expensive items, I won't charge either!

If you're playing this game, chances are you have at least 4 GB of RAM in your computer. And you're running it on a 32 bit system. And you're crashing due to being out of memory every 20 minutes. Well fear not! There is a solution, and you can do it yourself!

First, you need to open up Command Prompt in administrator mode. You can just search for "cmd" in your computer, right click it, run as administrator.

Second, you need to type this in: "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072". This will allow your system to allocate 3 gigabytes instead of 2 for gaming and other things, mostly for gaming.

Note: this only works if you're on Vista or 7, XP is a much more difficult process and I don't know how to do it, anyway. Also, I wouldn't be very courageous trying this with 3 gigs, but I've heard it works, you just need to change the number up a bit.

I'm sure you guys have heard of the Something Lawful clan in APB.. Or at least the Something Awful website. This is what happens when peopel from SA play MMOs... Poor massively. http://www.twitch.tv/massivelytv/b/307350713

For some reason you snipped some awesome stuff out the OP I created a while back. No idea why, it's solid content and could bring more players to the game.

[release][h2]MEDIA[/h2]

Example of Symbol Creator

Example of the Car Editor

Example of Character Customization

In early Summer 2010 Realtime Worlds decided they were going to do some PR for the game by getting the community to vote on various options to do with the character creation screen, which would then be translated onto a real life human. It happened, the guy got tattoos, haircuts, new clothes, it was brilliant. It's in 6 stages, and is here:

[/release]

There was some other stuff as well, but it seemed a bit out-dated. This stuff however isn't really that out-dated compared. If you wish to add it to the OP go wild. You can find a pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/umAhuKpv

If you add it to the OP or update the OP with some of this content then PM me here.

Anyone else getting a weird bug where Marksmanship mode just toggles itself off whenever it feels like it? It's kinda put me and Someguy out of action since it severely limits our weapon choice and as soon as any enemies pull out snipers in a semi-open area we're screwed.
